Google Pixel Watch 2 (Previous Model) with the Best of Fitbit - Heart Rate Tracking, Stress Management, Safety Features - Android Smartwatch - Matte Black Aluminum Case - Obsidian Active Band - WI-FI

I've been loving this watch since I first put it on. From what I've read, the Samsung Galaxy watch is considered better, but you need an additional wireless plan, and I didn't want that. The Pixel Watch 2 has a bluetooth/wifi option and that is good enough for me. I already had a Pixel 8, so it works seamlessly with my phone. I also really like how customizable the phone is. There are lots of watch face options and you can even further customize each watch face. There are also downloadable watch face apps for even more options. I have not explored this too much beyond what is included on the watch. There are lots of accessories available to customize the look of the watch. It comes with a basic silicon strap. It's fine, but you can find different colors and styles of bands and cases. I have two main complaints... 1) Battery Life - You have to charge it once a day on average. I like using it to track my sleep, so I need to charge it during the day. That being said, it charges quickly. I've gotten in the habit of charging it in the morning when I sit down to start my work day. 2) Charging Cable - It has a special, unique charging cable. It doesn't plug in, it uses a magnet to attach. It's always annoying having special cables for charging. It is also a different charging cable/mechanism than the previous model. Additional Concerns... You need to get a protective case. It's a watch, you will bump it into stuff, drop it, etc. Just a screen protector will not cut it. The curved body means a film protector will come off more easily. There are plenty of cheap options for protective cases available, though.

I had to replace my aging Galaxy S3 Frontier which is at it's end of life. I love that watch! I was going to get either a Galaxy S6 Pro or a Pixel Watch 2. After much soul searching, I knew I had to make a decision. so the gambler in me decided to try something new. I'm glad I did! Now clearly, a watch released less than 6 months ago is going to out perform one released 6 or 7 years ago. But the improvement in performance is remarkable. It's faster responding, pairs quickly and easily with my Pixel 6a smartphone, and has superior software. It's really the software that makes the smartwatch useful and productive. And to Samsung's credit, they kept my old war horse's software current. But, the Fitbit software is much more modern than Samsung Health. It can scan barcode label on food packages when I record what I eat and it is much more flexible in terms of how the nutrient servings list is recorded. And that means less manual calculations when trying adjust servings from grams to, say, ounces. Heart monitoring is more accurate, stair climbing is much more accurate, and sleep monitoring is actually usable. It might be the advancements in sensor quality rather than the software algorithms. But I do trust the results more. Charging the battery is FAST. I get about 36 hours of life from the battery, on about 45 minutes of charging. Twenty minutes of charging while I shower in the morning will give me about 12 hours of battery life. The wireless magnetic charger is a little different from the Samsung watch, but it is very functional. The user needs to make sure that the crown and stem is parallel to the power cord, and once the watch is about an inch away from the charger, the charger is drawn to the watch magnetically and it leaps up and connects to the watch. This is not BS on my part, it happens everyday. Only once has this connection not been made perfectly. The PW 2, is smaller and lighter, physically. It's about the size of a traditional men's mechanical dress watch. My ancient eyes can see the slightly smaller screen with ease. My arthritic gorilla fingers akso have no problem manipulating the screen. It is comfortable to wear long term, even to bed, for sleep monitoring. It offers a more classy and elegant appearance than the larger and sportier S6 Pro. I was comfortable with the new user interface within a day or two; so I think people coming from another brand won't have a huge learning curve. Like the Pixel Smartphones, Google uses a simple and uncluttered interface that I found very intuitive. I am quite pleased with my purchase,and can recommend it to others.

I've been using this watch for about a year now. I deliberately went with the Pixel Watch 2 even though the third version was already available because of the price—and honestly, its features were more than enough for me. Now the Watch 4 is available, but my 2 is still very relevant to me. The key here is value. The newer models have brighter screens and slightly better battery life, but for daily use, the Watch 2 holds up great. I get my full 24 hours of battery (which is all I need since I charge it during my morning shower) and the performance is still snappy thanks to the upgraded chip. The Fitbit integration is flawless. The heart rate tracking is accurate for my runs, and the sleep tracking is consistent. I have access to all the core Wear OS apps I need, like Google Wallet and Maps. If you're looking for a top-tier Android smartwatch experience but don't want to pay the newest flagship price, snagging a Pixel Watch 2 is the smart move. You aren't missing out on anything truly essential. It's a great, dependable piece of tech.

So I quickly learned after getting the watch a few days ago to go into the watch's settings, click battery, and turn on the battery saver. To have your watch come on, you gently tap the screen or press the crown button. This has greatly improved the battery life. But YOU shouldn't have to do that with a watch that costs this much. On the plus side, you can change just about every setting imaginable, and the Fitbit is a nice touch (despite most of the good features behind a subscription service). That's called Google greed. You'll get used to it. They're a monopoly for a reason. Using it to make and receive calls is awesome. Got a call the other day and was able to talk as I washed the dishes. No earbuds are required. The person who called me said the audio was great. I highly recommend this if you don't mind the craptacular battery life. I'm surprised they didn't fix it with a software update. Something is feasting on the power. Or they went with the lowest bidder for parts. Oh, if you have fat fingers or medium-sized ones, forget about the keyboard. LOL. You'll need a stylus (yes they work). The speech-to-text is very good but you have to remember to say "period" or "comma" when composing messages. If you don't, it'll be one long sentence without proper punctuation. You can even say "heart emoji" and it'll insert that. You can also go back and edit the message with your fingers and use the keyboard to correct mistakes. I'll update my review if needed and the longer I use it. Oh, the ECG works and is very cool. Even the sleep monitor caught my apnea.

I got the Pixel Watch 2 a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with it! I was looking for a smartwatch that would not only look cool but also offer great functionality, and the Pixel Watch 2 delivers on both fronts. The design of this watch is sleek and modern, and I love the customizable watch faces that allow me to express my style. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels durable, which is important for someone like me who's always on the go. The performance is outstanding. The watch is super responsive, and the apps load quickly. I can easily track my steps, heart rate, and sleep quality, which helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. Plus, the integration with Google Fit is seamless, making it easy to monitor my progress. The battery life has been impressive. I can wear it all day, even with active use, and I usually have some juice left at the end of the day. The fast charging feature is a lifesaver when I need to top it up in a hurry. One of my favorite features is the Google Assistant integration. It's incredibly handy for setting reminders, asking questions, and controlling smart home devices. Voice commands work like a charm, and it feels like having a personal assistant on my wrist. The Pixel Watch 2 also keeps me connected with notifications from my phone, so I don't miss important calls or messages. It's a great way to stay in the loop without constantly checking my phone. Overall, the Pixel Watch 2 is a fantastic smartwatch for teenagers like me. It combines style, performance, and functionality in one package. I can't recommend it enough!

Received today. So, this is a first impression review. The watch looks cute. Size is towards smaller size compared to some others in the market. But it looks perfect size for me. Someone with a beefy wrist may feel small. I use pixel phone. The pairing was instant and automatic with no confusion. You expect that within Google ecosystem. This is a replacement for my Fossil smartwatch that just died. I liked that watch. Was slightly bigger, so the lettering was a bit bigger too. I bought dozens of watch faces for that watch that were all WearOS compatible. At the first instance, this watch has it's own Google app to control watch features, tiles, and faces. I have not yet discovered a sync up with additional watch faces except I opened a face app, asked to install on the watch and then it did. But it felt sort of non native for this watch. However, the face did show up on watch as well as on the phone companion app. In the end I simply deleted the WearOS app from my phone as this watch does not require that. And I also sadly deleted all my watch faces. Too much hassle set up all over again. Although, I would say, the faces shipped by default are not bad. They are not as colorful or information-rich as some of my purchased 3rd party faces. But then all that information will look too small on a smaller dial. The watch sensors are years ahead of other smartwatches (except Apple iWatch). Apple hardware is certainly a little better but you pay a much more premium. Also, I am in Android ecosystem with no Apple products. Hence, Apple watch would never work for me. The band is proprietary and you cannot replace with 3rd party. It looks decent, although, I prefer a metal mesh band. All in all, I think it delivers exactly what it promised. So, I have no complaints. YMMV 😀

I bought this watch 14 months ago. I have loved it. Last night, it started malfunctioning. I looked up the issue online and found hundreds of people with the same issue, so it's obviously a bug in the watch. After several hours on the phone with Google, who tried to blame Fitbit, who sent me BACK to Google, I was told there's nothing they can do. After spending a lot of money, two months out of warranty, they couldn't care less, not even a tiny discount on a new one. I'm sad, because I love the look of the watch and I love its features. What I don't love is Google treating this like it has nothing to do with them, even though it's apparently a common problem. I hate the look of other comparable smart watches, but I hate giving my money to a company who can't be bothered to fix a common problem nor make any compensation to their customers even more. My advice if you decide to buy it is to choose the 3 year warranty; that way, you might get three years of use for your money before they tell you to stuff it.

I got this on a Black Friday sale and was happy with the price. I would not be happy with its normal price. PROS (WATCH): I mostly like the watch itself. The UI is comparatively intuitive. The display is bright, colorful, and readable. Its a bit big for my tastes, but that does make the display more readable for my old eyes. PROS (FITBIT): I appreciated that the watch allowed me to use the Fitbit app (where all my historical data lives). The integration seems fairly solid. CONS (WATCH): Sadly, the band pretty much ruins the watch. It is remarkably uncomfortable. I oscillate between it being too tight and too loose. It makes my wrist sweat. There is a Google-branded sports band, which is poorly reviewed, costs 1/3 as much as the watch itself, and has a plastic clasp. Seriously, how hard would it be to punch some holes in the original band so my wrist can get some air? Attaching/detaching the bands is unnecessarily difficult. Though, I do like how firm the attachment seems. The overall selection of bands is also very limited. Its just a bunch of different manufacturers peddling copies of the same style band over and over. The battery life is not impressive. Plan on charging it every morning when you wake up. CONS (FITBIT): Google would not allow me to pair both my Pixel Watch 2 and my Charge 5 with the Fitbit app. So, instead of being able to use each for what it is good at. I'm stuck trying to make one watch do everything and the other watch becomes an expensive paperweight. Since Google's acquisition of Fitbit, the quality of the Fitbit app has dropped dramatically. Meaningful colors are gone in a wash of monochrome sameness. Useful statistics are now difficult to find and require a lot of taps/swipes to reach.

Es un reloj que todavía lo sigo usando. Lo compré amha e un año y es el mejor. Lo recomiendo si lo usas con un pixel, porque con otro se pierden varias funciones.

Upgrading from an old Galaxy Gear S2 to the Pixel Watch 2 has been a pretty drastic change, some of the features I really like, some not so much. To start off, the battery life is reasonable. I don't use always on display, and I'm not constantly getting notifications (I'm selective as to what pushes to my watch) and I get 2 full days of use out of it. Charging is quick and I usually plug it in while I have a shower and drink my morning coffee. The fitness tracking is great and accurate, however what I strongly dislike is the need for a Fitbit subscription. It did come with 1 year for free, but I'll be curious to see how functional it really is after that subscription ends. Sleep tracking is just okay in my opinion, it often tracks me reading a book as being asleep. I get that I'm not moving much during that time, but my old watch never made that mistake. One handy feature is the ability to download music to the watch so I can listen while on a walk and don't need to take my phone. Being phone free is really nice sometimes. I just got a pair of pixel ear buds (yes, I'm fully bought into the Google eco system now) and the switching between phone and watch is seamless. Overall, I'm happy with the watch, but for the price, I kind of expected a more premium experience vs. my old Samsung and I'm just not feeling like it was that big of an upgrade considering how many years the two devices are apart.

+Très bonne montre, bonne performance, très fluide, permet de compter ses pas, avoir des infos sur son sommeil, voir notre rythme cardiaque, etc +On peut aussi répondre aux appels messenger par exemple et la qualité audio est vraiment pas mal +On peut utiliser google map et même télécharger des map hors ligne, donc si jamais votre téléphone manque de batterie et que vous êtes perdu, vous pouvez avoir le gps sur votre montre +Elle fit bien avec tout, j'aime bien son look perso, pas trop grosse, pas trop petite - La batterie dure moyennement longtemps, environ 32h sans le always on display, mais au moins elle recharge quand même assez vite

The pixel watch 2 has a great, simple and clean design and functions well. Due to its small size and light feel, sleep tracking is not a problem as you can easily forget it's there. The biometrics seem to be good, all the regular / expected tracking is there, as well as an AFib detection and ECG features. I was worried you would need Fitbit premium to use all the features but from my perspective Fitbit premium seems useless, and you can use your watch to its fullest without. Keep in mind this watch is small, if you want a bulky watch this is not it. I use mine with my pixel 7 pro, and have had no issues, haptics are great, battery is slightly over 24 hrs with default settings (or so I found). I'd recommend finding a silicone stand to put the charger cord in to keep everything organized.

Medically, I needed to monitor my heart rate closely, and this watch has been perfect. It's built with good quality materials, rock-hard faceplate, and a comfortable strap to wear 24 hours a day. A lot better quality than the old fitbits. I also appreciate the smart features like custom alarms, phone finder, activity modes, answering calls on my watch like Dick Tracy. haha
